"As you see can the plane ... is carrying out its work within the framework of the allied grouping of Belarus and Russia, alive and in one piece," said a commentator.
The plane is an airborne early-warning aircraft with command and control capabilities and the ability to track up to 60 targets at a time.
The comments were the first from an official source in either Moscow or Minsk about the supposed attack.
There have been several acts of sabotage in Belarus and in Russian regions bordering Ukraine, especially on the railway system, since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
